Applying for asylum in Sweden is a difficult process if one is unaware of one’s rights and duties. We have compiled some advice, as well as references to sources of information, laws, and directions to people and organizations that can help you if you are about to seek asylum or help someone else with their asylum application. You can always contact local FARR groups or board for more help and advice.

Good Advice is layouted to be printed. Please observe that it should be printed with two pages at every ordinary A4 sheet of paper in your printer, or be printed on smaller A5 sheets. Language versions of the same edition can be read beside each other, with the same pagination of the chapters in every language.

Good Advice is "shareware". The files can be downloaded free, but costs for translations and layout are high.

The first edition of Good Advice was produced in 2007 in cooperation with the Brotherhood Movement – Sweden's Christian social democrats, co-financed by the European Refugee Fund. In 2009, translations into Spanish and Arabic were financed by Save the Children. Good Advice was updated in 2011, in all the language versions, to reflect changes in law and precedent. At the same time, the publication was translated into English and Russian. This part of the project was paid for by Emmaus Björkå. Minor updates were also made in 2012 and 2013. In 2013 FARR commissioned a translation of the handbook into Farsi. At the end of 2014, the material was updated once again, this time as part of a higher- level course in practical humanitarian law. These revisions led to the 2015 edition. Translations were paid for by the Church of Sweden. The current edition 5 is made by FARR with financial help for translations and layout from MUCF, The Swedish Agency for Youth and Civil Society. Translation of edition 5-02 are sponspored by the City Mission of Stockholm and the Church of Sweden.
